Yours, Mine, Ours. Many people believe father’s surname should be passed on to their wives and children, just because that’s the right thing to do. A surname has an important role in people’s lives. It not only keeps a family legacy, but also keeps tradition, and shows family pride, with that been said children and wives should take the father’s or husbands last name.

Views about marriage vary widely depending on what part of the country you're from, with all involved becoming more rooted to what they think is right, or wrong. For example, tradition plays a big role in most Spanish speaking families. Usually the first surname comes from the father and the second from the mother, but it could be the other way around. For instance in Spain, women do not change their legal surname when she marries, however in other Spanish speaking countries such as Latin America a woman marrying a man may drop her mother’s surname, and add the husbands to her father’s surname using the “de” proposition. For example , my mother’s full legal in Guatemala before she married my father was Ana Noemi Hernandez Quinones, after she married my dad her legal name became Ana Noemi Hernandez de Solloy, it’s a tradition we follow in Guatemala and I believe it’s important and should keep going.

“I like the idea of having the same last name as your spouse and identifying yourself as part of the same family, but felt like in some way, changing my name was like changing my personality,” by Rachel Buell from the Daily Muse. In the other hand we have women that do not follow the family tradition and go with what they believe, which most of all is pride. For example, some women believe that changing their surnames can or show signs of weakness, or even ownership. They tend to feel owned by their husbands, according to “The Atlantic wire magazine” women are still being judged for not taking their husband’s last name, and “In the...

Frank is a naval officer and he rules his household with military precision, but Helene’s artistic trait makes for a different household than Frank’s family is used to. Both sides of the kids are not so pleased about moving and sharing room with one another; therefore, they have thought up a plan to undermine the marriage.

Racial Profiling In America
Everybody has been taught to hate black, whether its black ice, a black cat, or black plague to the black sheep, the verdict is already been handed down, everything black is bad. That’s what history has told the world. From the days of old, to modern times, black has been associated with death, wrong, or misfortune. So it’s no wonder that in today’s society we associate everything bad with black. From a walk in the park, to a drive down the lakefront to quiet bonding with family, those peaceful and contempt situations can be upheaved in an instant by crime, and for those thought to be the perpetrators, there’s the constant threat of harassment. But although those serene moments can be disturbed by dark forces, who’s to say that that it’s the dark skinned race that causes the trouble? Who says that it is predetermined that those of darker descent are the one to blame for this misfortune? Racial profiling may be unjust, but in this day and age, it is necessary to some extent.
Racial Profiling In America
The notion that black is a precursor for bad has been a tradition for years, not only in the United States, but around the world, and there’s no sign that it is letting up. From Emmitt Till to Trayvon Martin, the black population has been a target for the world’s...

...gave out some sample questions of her English tests and admitted that it’s difficult for her to think in an American way or in other words, to solve those problems using the logic of the Americans. It reminds me of my school days. I was educated in China mainland all the time before I entered university. To be honest, students do not have enough chances to practice their oral English in class mainly because of two reasons. First, there are about 50 students in my class so it’s impossible for the teacher to ask each student questions and wait for the answer. Second, our education system stresses more on written English and testing skills. So my biggest problem is that sometimes I’ll be tired of the piles of assignments especially some annoying grammar quizzes.
Learning a foreign language is bitter-sweet. We suffer and achieve in this process and undoubtedly what we have suffer and achieved will become parts of our unforgettable memory. As far as I’m concerned, the two major influences on Julia’s motivation are her parents’ education ideas and the guidance of Sister Maria. Her parents sent her to a school that offers an English as a Second Language program at the elementary and middle-school levels according to the passage. Julia guesses that the reason why her parents did so was partly because her mother was sent to boarding school and college in the United States. And because sometimes when her parents “had a secret they wanted to keep from...

...cigarette. And he heaves in a long breath, inhales a fat bit of the tobacco and is ready for more punching.
The kid on the other side of the screen almost ogles out of his sockets, eyes rolling out just about. His hero, his man of biggest action on 70mm, loves his smoke and delivers, WOW!
The ‘WOW’ that the kid takes home is what begins another saga with the cigarette
What exactly I want to convey to the reader from this illustration which is rather a very practical one is that it is the bollywood matinees which sometimes acts as a promoter in case of some bad habits. I am really sorry to say but resulting scenario is that some bad or ruthless behavior is adopted by several youngsters who are fans of their respective favorite stars.
Thanks to our films. They celebrate smoke-fed heroes, paan chewing villains and well show it all, a young women injecting that ‘magical’ something that shows her the ‘other unseen’ world, a school boy stealing smokes in between shots at studies or even from under the quilt. The images are endless. The consequences even bigger and yet more endless &amp; sometimes, sadly irreversible.
How tobacco is an upcoming as a fashion? Can be very well observed from mentality of college going youngsters. Tobacco chewing is nothing other than just a fashion adopted by millions of college going students meets a very newly admitted student and offers him a cigar and he refuses. The first and foremost impression his senior will have of him...

..."Our acceptance of lies becomes a cultural cancer that eventually shrouds and reorders reality until moral garbage becomes as invisible to us as water is to a fish."
- Stephanie Ericsson
I know a friend whose biggest pet peeve is lying. And I had to ask him, "Do you think honest is always the best policy?"
His response: "I try to be as honest as possible. Very rarely do I think lying's the best [for any situation]." But what if he knew how lying is inevitable inour everyday lives and how they could be of use in certain situations, like Ericsson's Vietnam veteran example?
In "The Ways We Lie", Ericsson covers on the many ways we lie in our daily lives, besides the typical deceptive statements. Some include the notorious 'white lies', omission, delusion, facades, and groupthink scenarios. Lies are mostly devices for selfish motives or self-promotion (though I think anything is rarely selfless), but is it really necessary to call these lies "moral garbage"? Granted, Ericsson does acknowledge that some of these lies can be honorable or functional for living. For instance, if we all kept in mind the perils that are rife in this world, I doubt we could ever want to carry out any part of our lives beyond one step. So we use delusion to tell ourselves that everything'll be okay. Or how about the white lie? A former sergeant during the Vietnam War (the veteran as mentioned before) knew that one of his men was...

COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN AT ATTAIN
2
Effective business communication is essential in all business environments, and must be
driven by effective leadership at all management levels. Conversely, bad business
communication will eventually destroy the business environment and its effectiveness resulting
in reduced employee morale, loss of mission focus, or even lost revenue. In the Hill and
Beckham (2011) case study, Kay Sunderland (Sunderland) is an account director responsible for
client service activities at Attain Learning (Attain), a company that provides training services for
other businesses. Sunderland is at a communications crossroad in determining how best to
proceed to resolve problems that developed as a result of a fellow employee, Mike Morgan
(Morgan) who contacted Sunderland’s most important client, Juan Nunez (Nunez),
circumventing Sunderland’s preferred communication route. Additionally, Nunez expressed that
he would like communication from Attain come only from Sunderland. In this scenario,
Sunderland’s relationship with her most important client could be in jeopardy. There are three
business communication pitfalls that Sunderland must properly navigate to ensure an appropriate
and successful outcome with both...
